An identification technique is proposed to create a relation between the accelerator pedal position and the corresponding driving moment. This step is beneficial to replace the complex physical model of the vehicle control unit, especially when the sufficient information needed to model certain functionalities of the vehicle control unit are unavailable. We utilized the nonlinear autoregressive exogenous model to regenerate the electric motor torque demand, given the accelerator pedal position, the motor’s angular speed, and the vehicle’s speed. This model proved to be extremely efficient in representing this highly complex relationship. The data employed for the identification process were chosen from an actual three-dimensional route with sudden changes of a dynamic nature in the driving mode, different speed limits, and elevations, as an attempt to thoroughly cover the driving moment scope based on the alternation of the given inputs. Analyzing the selected route data points showed the widespread coverage of the motor’s operational scope compared to a standard driving cycle. The training outcome revealed that linear modeling is inadequate for identifying the targeted system, and has a substantial estimation error. Adding the nonlinearity feature to the model led to an exceptionally high accuracy for the estimation and validation datasets. The main finding of this work is that the combined model from the nonlinear autoregressive exogenous and the sigmoid network enables the accurate modeling of highly nonlinear dynamic systems. Accordingly, the maximum absolute estimation error for the motor’s moment was less than 10 Nm during the real-world driving maneuver. The highest errors are found around the maximum motor’s moment. Finally, the model is validated with measurements from an actual field test maneuver. The identified model predicted the driving moment with a correlation of 0.994.
